S. S. Stevens was a psychologist who introduced the widely used framework of the four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. In 1946, he proposed that scores assigned to individuals can communicate varying amounts of quantitative information about a given variable. His conceptualization emphasizes the generality of measurement and serves as a fundamental guide for determining which statistical procedures are appropriate for different types of data.
